Avalanche breakdown of p-n junction diode is due to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Collision of electrons with atoms

Option A (Collision of electrons with atoms) is correct because avalanche breakdown occurs when accelerated electrons gain enough kinetic energy to ionize atoms in the depletion region through collisions, creating more charge carriers.
